Xiom Max Leverage vs Joola Energy Green Power

For once there seems to be two rubber that are comparable that I like:

Joola's offering is what I am currently using.
42.5 degrees for the Green Power
37.5 degrees for the Energy X-tra

Xiom has two versions too:
42.5 for Max Leverage (Regular)
37.5 for Max Leverage (Soft Version)

They are both glue-effect rubbers. Medium/Soft Tensors
The Energy GP is rated from ALL to OFF+ I guess that means 1.8 to Max.
The Energy X-tra is rated from DEF+ to OFF+ --ok...whatever.
The softer versions are supposed to give you more spin/control.

That was the information section:  :lol:

I guess they don't make shoes though.  :D

They are very differant rubbers, The Joola Green Energy is more similar to the Omega II Euro version, in than it is completely VOX free (BIOS LOGO), the Max Leverage is a first generation Tensor, Very nice to use, but nothing like the green power.

I keep thinking that Max Leverage in the Red would look good on my backhand side.  I like the faster less tacky rubbers on my backhand side, and the slower tackier rubbers on my forehand side.  I would sure be curious to know how well this rubber plays on the Strad!

Skippy, I used both the 1.5mm & 2.0mm Yanus DF last night, and I can tell you that both are very good fast rubbers. "Surprise Surprise"

Good match for the Strad?  Well, the Max Leverage that is.  I know the Yanus DF is a great match for the Strad already.
